Semien Leads Rangers' 11-1 Win Over Cardinals

Marcus Semien broke out of a season-long slump with a 4-for-4 performance, including a home run and three RBIs, leading the Texas Rangers to an 11-1 rout of the St. Louis Cardinals. Semien’s offensive surge significantly raised his batting average and OPS, marking his first four-hit game and home run since early May. Rangers manager Bruce Bochy and teammates praised Semien’s leadership and perseverance, while also noting the importance of team-wide contributions. The Rangers’ offense produced 15 hits and outscored their previous series total in a single inning, with strong pitching support from Jack Leiter. The victory improved Texas’ home record and suggested potential for further offensive improvement if Semien maintains this form. Despite the lopsided score, the Cardinals managed to maintain a strong on-base percentage.
